Everything you saved, at its best.
Save from Safari or any app with “Save to Linnet”. Linnet strips away the clutter and keeps a clean, offline copy, images included.
Reads like paper
Six papers from warm Novel to True Black, real book fonts, and gentle paper textures. Adjust size, spacing and width until it feels right.
Reads to you
Listen to any article with natural on-device voices. Queue a folder for the commute, with controls on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
Highlights and notes
Mark what matters and add your own thoughts. Export everything to Markdown for Obsidian, Bear or Notes.
Brings your library
Import from Instapaper, Pocket exports, Omnivore or browser bookmarks, folders and all.
PDFs and speed reading
Read, highlight and listen to PDFs too, or speed-read anything one word at a time.
Widgets and Reminders
See what's next on your Home Screen, and send an article to Apple Reminders for a timed nudge.
What you read, remembered.
Each day a few past highlights come back, with your note and where they came from. Got it, and it comes back later. Fuzzy, and you'll see it again soon. A minute a day, and the good bits stick.
“We read differently when nothing is asking for our attention.”
Your note: phone away at bedtime.
No subscription, ever.
- Try everything free for 14 days. Nothing is charged.
- Then one purchase, Linnet Lifetime, keeps saving, listening, highlights and review.
- Don't buy, and you can still read, search and export your library forever.
- Family Sharing included.
No account. No tracking. No servers.
Your library lives on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud. Linnet collects nothing, and there's nothing to sign up for. Read the privacy policy.
Questions?
Email hello@readlinnet.app. I read everything and usually reply within a couple of days.
How do I save an article?
In Safari or any app, tap Share, then “Save to Linnet”. If it isn't there, scroll the row of apps to the end, tap More, and add it to your favourites.
How do I bring my library from another app?
Export your library from the other app (Instapaper: Settings, Export; Pocket: its export file). Then in Linnet go to Settings, Bring Your Library, and choose the file. Folders come with it.
How does highlight review work?
Highlights come back a day after you make them. Got it doubles the time until you see one again, Fuzzy brings it back in two days, and Retire stops it for good. Only highlights come back, never whole articles. You can turn it off, or limit it to highlights with notes, in Settings.
How do I restore my purchase on a new device?
Settings, Restore Purchases, with the same Apple ID you bought with. Family members get Lifetime through Family Sharing.
An article doesn't look right.
Some sites block readers or need a login. Try Again, or Open Original from the article's menu. If a site often fails, email me the link.
Does Linnet sync between my devices?
Yes, through your own iCloud. Check iCloud is on for Linnet in Settings, your name, iCloud.
